This is so offensive! Till now I have only lurked here, but this! Do you even know anything about this book Naked Lunch or its horrible author William S. Burroughs?!?

What can be your problem with Burroughs and the Naked Lunch? It is pure word of TRUTH given by messenger Burroughs.

Seriously? Burroughs was a notorious pedophile. There's a lot of pedophilia in that book. Not only that, the false portrayal of homosexuality in that book likely set back LGBPTTQQIIAA+ rights back by...who knows how many decades!

Then there's the racism. Naked Lunch in particular contains many passages portraying people of color in awful contexts using incredibly offensive language. Unacceptable.

Last but certainly not least, there's the misogyny. In the book he once refers to females as "two holed freaks". Seriously? You think that's OK?

Do you really want me to start posting quotes from Naked Lunch backing this up? Because you know they're in there.

Oh, and top off the misogyny in the book, there's the fact that in his real life:

He shot his wife in the head!

a crime for which there was never any justice.

And you're holding him up as a "messenger of truth"? Err. So frustrated! Don't fall for this people!

I am sorry to be reading that you are feeling such things. I can assure you and everyone there is NOT ONE WORD of Naked Lunch supporting the bad things. Naked Lunch is in many ways the ORIGIN of what we in modern world call Social Justice.

Burroughs was not pedophile, those are bad rumors. You must please read more and educte yourself. Maybe it is infleunce of media that tells you such false stories about messenger Burroughs.

The shooting of his wife was accident, and he did struggled with this misfortune all his days.

Please to be educating yourself and not believing those spreading the lies.

Friend, I heeded your wise council and have begnu reading and I find in amazement and wonder these profitic words.

Couldn't there be more than one Sender?"

"Oh yes, many of them at first. But not for long. Some maudlin citizens will think they can send something edifying, not realizing that sending is evil. Scientists will say: 'Sending is like atomic power.... If properly harnessed.'

Excerpt From: William S. Burroughs. Naked Lunch. iBooks.
